Ya that actually sounds like a pretty good price. But you'll need cables and the works to go with them. But they REALLY help your back.

Dude, if interested...I'll send you the top clamp I used on my Deluxe pull risers. If it works for you, we can settle up.

There are 4" pull back risers for the 1.25" bars, you just got the wrong ones I guess. See my sig pic. Running these with the stock FBL bars, no cable changes needed. I went with standard FB bars and had to change everything but the clutch cable.

Anyone here using the 6" HD risers on a FBL? If so, did the stock wiring reach and did any lines need to be replaced?

I saw this mentioned in other threads but never heard a definite answer.

Thanks.
